2 Preparing LUNs for use—The PowerVault NAS storage solution runs on a
Microsoft Windows
®
operating system based platform. The steps to
prepare LUNs for use, such as assigning a drive letter for the internal server,
providing a volume name, and so on are to Windows operating system
setup. The setup wizard prompts for the required information and then
provides a summary screen before performing the necessary tasks to
provision the storage.
The LUN is now created and ready for use. Step 3 creates iSCSI Targets
and associates the iSCSI Targets with the newly-created LUN.
3 Configuring NICs for iSCSI traffic in the PowerVault storage solution—
You must first configure dedicated iSCSI NICs for iSCSI traffic and then
create iSCSI Targets.
NOTE:
Create iSCSI Targets only after configuring the Discovery tab in the
iSCSI Initiator
To configure dedicated iSCSI NICs:
a Go to PowerVault NAS Management Console
→ iSCSI Target.
b Right-click the iSCSI software Target and select Properties.
c In the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target Properties window, go to the
Network tab. All the NICs on the PowerVault NAS storage solution
are listed.
d Click Edit and uncheck public and private network IP address from
the list. Unchecking public and private network IP addresses from the
list ensures that only the dedicated iSCSI NICs are configured
for iSCSI traffic.
e If you have an iSNS server configured in your network, go to iSNS tab
and add the iSNS server IP address. Click OK.
